Synopsis

A practical, calculation‑focused guide to designing alternating generators and synchronous motors for real machines.

This edition walks engineers through the key concepts and step‑by‑step design considerations for large electrical machines. It combines theoretical rules with worked examples, showing how to size windings, determine flywheel effects, and assess slot and wire geometry. The text emphasizes how losses, efficiency, and practical constraints shape a robust machine design.

Readers will gain a framework for balancing magnetic, mechanical, and electrical factors—from winding layouts and pole counts to output characteristics and performance curves. The material is geared toward engineers seeking actionable methods grounded in established practice.

• How wheel diameter and flywheel effects are chosen to satisfy mechanical and electrical requirements.


• Methods for evaluating winding space, slot dimensions, copper Losses, and iron losses.


• Understanding efficiency, constant vs. variable losses, and how to read test curves to predict performance.


• Guidance on designing for different loads, overload capacity, and excitation considerations.

Ideal for practicing engineers, designers, and students working on synchronous machines, alternators, and related rotating electrical equipment.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Direct-and Alternating-Current Machine Design Being Instructions for the Design of Motors and Generators

This volume is especially prepared for self-instruction in the art of designing direct- and alternating-current machinery. Care has been taken to remain strictly within the province of design; the reader being assumed to possess knowledge of the principles of electricity and magnetism, and to be familiar with the theory of operation of electrical machines. The designs are carried out according to methods developed in actual practice and are supplemented by data and dimensions of lines of machines actually built by several of the largest American and European companies. The book is divided into two parts: one treating the design of direct-current machines, and the other that of alternating-current machines; each part being followed by a list of questions which clearly bring out the important points to be remembered.
